This paper reports on a microbial-enhanced waterflooding field project conducted in the Mink unit of the Delaware-Childers field in Nowata County, OK. A microbial formulation was injected into four injection wells and has been followed by periodic injections of molasses as nutrient. Laboratory and field procedures that were used to design the test are described. Improvements in both oil production rate and WOR's have been observed.
